Descrizione
English shows guesses with little words: "must be", "probably", "I think", "maybe". English speakers look for a Malayalam word for "think" and say "njaan vichaarikkunnu avan varum", "I think he will come", word by word. It is understandable, but at home people almost never guess that way. In this episode: • Aayirikkum: it must be • Kaanum: must have • Thonnunnu: i think, it seems • Sure, not sure, maybe • Putting it together • Language bridge • Practice • Self-check questions with answers Key phrases from this episode: ആയിരിക്കും (aayirikkum) = it must be, it's probably അത് അമ്മ ആയിരിക്കും (athu amma aayirikkum) = that must be Amma (at the door) അവൻ വീട്ടിൽ ആയിരിക്കും (avan veettil aayirikkum) = he must be at home അവൾ ഉറങ്ങുകയായിരിക്കും (aval urangukayaayirikkum) = she must be sleeping ആയിരിക്കും (aayirikkum) = probably, could be അവൻ വന്നു കാണും (avan vannu kaanum) = he must have come ബസ് പോയി കാണും (bas poyi kaanum) = the bus must have left അവർ കഴിച്ചു കാണും (avar kazhichu kaanum) = they must have eaten തോന്നുന്നു (thonnunnu) = it seems എനിക്ക് തോന്നുന്നു (enikku thonnunnu) = I think so മഴ പെയ്യുമെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു (mazha peyyumennu thonnunnu) = I think it'll rain അവൻ വരില്ലെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു (avan varillennu thonnunnu) = I don't think he'll come എനിക്ക് അങ്ങനെ തോന്നുന്നില്ല (enikku angane thonnunnilla) = I don't think so ഉറപ്പാണോ?
